Referring to Fig. 1,, the first conventional constant voltage circuit 10 is described at first for ease of understanding the present invention.The first conventional constant voltage circuit 10 is made up of with the output-stage circuit 2 that is connected with differential amplifier circuit 1 differential amplifier circuit 1.In the example of describing, output-stage circuit 2 is connected with output load circuit 3.
Differential amplifier circuit 1 is made up of the constant flow element of first to the 8th metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) (MOS) the transistor Tr 1-Tr8 and the constant current I1 that flows through.For simplicity, constant flow element is represented with label I1.Differential amplifier circuit 1 has the circuit input end Ti that is added with reference voltage V REF.And differential amplifier circuit 1 adds active voltage vcc.
Output-stage circuit 2 is made up of P-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor (PMOS) transistor Tr 9, first resistor, second resistor and capacitor.First resistor and second resistor have first resistance R 1 and second resistance R 2 respectively.Capacitor has capacitor C 1.For simplicity, first and second resistors are represented with label R1 and R2 respectively.Capacitor is represented with label C1.Output-stage circuit 2 has circuit output end To, from the VREG output voltage of this output terminal output as constant voltage.Output-stage circuit 2 adds active voltage vcc.
In the example of describing, output load circuit 3 is made up of loading resistor and load capacitor.Loading resistor and load capacitor have pull-up resistor RL and load capacitance CL respectively, and for simplicity, loading resistor and load capacitor are represented with label RL and CL.
Constant voltage circuit 10 shown in the figure is as negative feedback amplifier circuit.Especially, differential amplifier circuit 1 is as voltage follower circuit, so the 6th MOS transistor Tr6 has the grid potential that equates with the reference voltage V REF that exports from circuit output end Ti.Output voltage V REG obtains by VREF * (R1+R2)/R2.Just when source voltage was added on the constant voltage circuit 10, because PMOS transistor Tr 9 has the grid potential that equates with earth potential, PMOS transistor Tr 9 became conducting state.As a result, output current flows to circuit output end To through PMOS transistor Tr 9.
Differential amplifier circuit 1 work is to suppress output current.When output voltage was not less than the voltage of steady state (SS), owing to feedback voltage on the grid that is added to PMOS transistor Tr 9 postpones, differential amplifier circuit 1 was difficult to suppress output current.As a result, on the basis of output current, there is spike to appear at output terminal To.Output current is through first resistor R 1 and second resistor R 2 the earth of flowing through.Output voltage reaches the voltage of steady state (SS).
In the first conventional constant voltage circuit, just after the source voltage vcc was added on the constant voltage circuit, PMOS transistor Tr 9 had the grid potential that equates with ground potential.As a result, PMOS transistor Tr 9 can be circuit output end To bigger electric current is provided.On the other hand, differential amplifier circuit 1 has less circuital current.Like this, differential amplifier circuit 1 is difficult to suppress the electric current of PMOS transistor Tr 9.As mentioned above, there is spike to occur at circuit output end To.
